From Friends with Benefits to a Nerd Wedding

by Alex

the Nerd Love Story of April and Scott

🔥 Dating Apps like Tinder often get a bad rep about what people there are looking for. But even if you start something with no strings attached, if you matched with the right person… you might end up having a nerd wedding with swords and the LOTR soundtrack! 🧝‍♂️

April expected to meet a jock 💪 Someone with whom she wouldn’t have much in common. Instead, she fell for a nerd. But that wasn’t what they had agreed to. After all, neither of them were looking for a serious relationship. So it wasn’t until one of them was vulnerable enough to express their feelings that things changed.

📝 Agreements (even romantic) can be changed and amended. They’re not something fixed that once set can’t be touched. It does, however, mean risking rejection. Just as confessing that you like someone, trying to change what you already agreed on carries a risk. ⚠️

Is it worth it? Up to you to decide. For April and Scott, it led to a nerd marriage. 💍
